So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Battery Operated Alarm Clock Movement In Contrast With Mechanical Movement Clocks

By Paul J. Easton

There are two types of movement for alarm clocks with face and hands. They are the mechanical and quartz battery operated alarm clocks. The old yet iconic mechanical alarm clocks have the traditional bell on top which produces that ringing sound. On the other hand, the simple quartz battery operated alarm clock makes a buzzing sound to wake you up.

In the bell-style alarm clock with mechanical movement, the main spring drives the gear propelling its clacker back and forth. This clacker is usually between the two bells or between the sides if the clacker is inside a single bell. Thus, it produces the common buzzing sound to wake us up.

The quartz battery alarm clock, on the other hand, is a type of clock that utilizes an electric oscillator. This oscillator is regulated by a quartz crystal to keep time with such a level of accuracy. The crystal oscillator produces a precise signal. This makes quartz alarm clocks more accurate than traditional mechanical clocks over a period of time.

Quartz crystals are very accurate, thus this have been its way of winning the competition over the mechanical types of movement. Moreover, the battery powered alarm clock movement is also faster and more economical to mass produce making them less expensive than most mechanical movement alarm clocks.
